Letters to Professor Thomas Cherry, Head of the Department of Mathematics, from Douglas Hartree and E. N. Mutch.

Hartree's letter is apparently in response to inquiries made by Cherry regarding the finding of a permanent home for the CSIRO computer. The letter contains Hartree's advice on organisational and staffing arrangements based on his experience at the Cavendish Laboratory. Hartree also provides, at Cherry's request, his opinion of Pearcey. Mutch's letter details the operating and maintenance needs of a large computer, such as the one at Cambridge, and the staffing needed for these purposes.
